French rider Clement Chevrier of AG2R La Mondiale is the general classification Point d’Appui for the 2017 Giro d’Italia. He finished 81st out of the 161 riders who survived the race.

Chevrier began racing in 2009, doing well in 2014, winning the San Dimas Stage Race and the best Young Rider classification in the USA Pro Cycling Challenge. He rode the Giro in 2015, finishing 69th, and the Vuelta a España in 2016, finishing 41st. He rides in support of Domenico Pozzovivo, who finished sixth in the overall standings.

The Point d’Appui changed hands 13 times during the Giro, and three riders managed to finish at the fulcrum twice, including Enrico Gasparotto early in the race, Jurgen Van Den Broeck in the middle and Tom-Jelte Slagter in the latter part. Slagter held the Point d’Appui after Stage 6 of the 2014 Tour de France.
